Guía de configuración
Follow these steps to set up your X1 S Microphone System:
- Attach the Shockmount: Carefully screw the sE ISOLATION-PACK shockmount onto a standard microphone stand. Ensure it is securely fastened.

- Insertar el micrófono: Gently slide the X1 S microphone into the shockmount's cradle. The quick-lock mechanism will secure the microphone in place, isolating it from vibrations and handling noise.
- Colocación del filtro antipop: Attach the metal pop filter to the shockmount. Position it approximately 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) in front of the microphone capsule. This helps to reduce plosive sounds (e.g., 'p' and 'b' sounds) and protect the microphone from moisture.

- Conecte el cable: Connect one end of the supplied 3-meter XLR microphone cable to the XLR output on the bottom of the X1 S microphone. Connect the other end to an XLR input on your audio interface, mixer, or preampmás duradero.
- Apply Phantom Power: The X1 S is a condenser microphone and requires +48V phantom power to operate. Activate phantom power on your audio interface or mixer. Refer to your audio device's manual for instructions on enabling phantom power.
Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The X1 S is designed for versatile recording applications. Here are key operational considerations:
- Patrón polar: The X1 S features a fixed cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern. This means it is most sensitive to sounds coming from the front and rejects sounds from the sides and rear, making it ideal for isolating a sound source.
- Interruptores de almohadilla: The microphone includes two switchable attenuation pads:
- -10dB de amortiguación: Use this setting when recording louder sources to prevent input clipping on your audio interface.
- -20dB de amortiguación: Engage this for extremely loud sources, such as close-miked drums or guitar amplifiers, to further reduce the signal level.
- Filtro de corte bajo: The X1 S also features two switchable low-cut (high-pass) filters:
- 80Hz Low-Cut: Activates a filter at 80 Hz to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble, such as HVAC noise or footfall vibrations.
- 160Hz Low-Cut: Provides a steeper cut at 160 Hz, useful for reducing proximity effect (excessive bass boost when close to the microphone) or further cleaning up low-end frequencies.
- Usos recomendados: The X1 S is highly versatile and recommended for:
- Vocals and Speech
- Broadcasting and Podcasting
- Guitarra eléctrica Ampsalvavidas
- Drums (overhead or close-miking)
- Video Recording and Streaming
Mantenimiento
Un mantenimiento adecuado garantiza la longevidad y el rendimiento óptimo de su micrófono:
- Limpieza: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the microphone body. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish or internal components. For the pop filter, a soft brush can be used to remove dust.
- Almacenamiento: When not in use, store the microphone in its original packaging or a protective case to shield it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Avoid storing in environments with extreme temperatures or high humidity.
- Manejo: Always handle the microphone with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage the sensitive condenser capsule.
- Cuidado de cables: Coil the XLR cable loosely when storing to prevent kinks and damage to the internal wiring. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable.
